Zusammenfassung:	Private Censorship is about free speech and how corporations and social groups can interfere with it. J.P. Messina asks and variously answers questions like: what should we think when employees get fired for things they say? When is it appropriate for social media firms to deplatform users, and what does it mean for our democracy that those in charge of such decisions are often wealthy Silicon Valley executives? Do search engines act as massive gatekeepers to information in troubling ways, and how might they be constrained if so? Messina argues that while there is much to worry about when it comes to these exercises of private power, it would be a mistake to simply do away with them, as some have suggested.
